Wallowing

[Jim Hyla]

No doubt what the Princeton coaches did was very smart. Great move, that many would not make.

To try to get home-ice advantage in the CCHA quarterfinals, Ferris State tried the same thing against Michigan at Yost. Had Ferris State scored, Michigan would have lost home-ice advantage for the first round.

The hockey game finished in a 1-1 tie, and Michigan prevailed in the shootout. The shootout result impacted the playoff seedings, but not which teams got home-ice advantage.

And we had it tried against us, by Clarkson. 1989 Quarters, this time I'm correct Beeeej:-D. We won the first game, and if Clarkson would win the second game, we'd have to go to that stupid mini game. It was a 0-0 tie when Clarkson pulled their goalie, but didn't score. Not quite the same since they knew they had to win, but still pulled a goalie in a tie game. So Clarkson couldn't perform, but Princeton could.

Or else Cornell performed while Harvard sucked.

Good point.

But you should know somebody used your name and password to start this thread with an awful list of stuff!

Ironic reference to the "fans" who immediately re-jumped back on the holocaust wagon the second we lost to Yale.  If they are going to whine, I would at least like them to whine informedly.

Also, the point of a chart like this isn't that we finished 9th.  It's that we finished in the top 4 12 of the previous 13 seasons, and what the fuck more do people want?

You know what we want. What every one of us wants. We talk about it incessently. We want to be taken to the promised land. We want to win the last game of the season. That is what we want.

This is the wallowing topic so anyone not cast into the pit of dispare should start the "The only reason we are sub .500 is the refs hate us, the gods steer our pucks around the net, and our mommy's did not hold us enough" Topic. Of course it is permissable to participate in both.

Unless Cornell wins the ECAC tournament, it's a disappointing year, any way you slice it.

To each his own.

Over at the Laxpower forum, Ivyman reminded me of an apropos quote that appeared on ELF around 2009:

"Why does God hate us so much? Is it the Atheism?"

Also known as the "We're no better than RPI fans" thread.

Hey, the clear reason is NOT ENUF GOALZ!!!

Schadenfreude is an anagram for Schafer End Due.

Wow.  That surprised me. Realistically, to be replaced by who? Doug Darraugh?  Would Union's Coach jump?

And you must kill at Scrabble.

I have to believe that Cornell could attract a quality coach. Darraugh has done an outstanding job with the women's program. If you watch the women move the puck you can only say "I wish the men could do that" (Yes I know the game is different)

I motion that "Derraugh" be added to the Spelling Guide.

30 goals ought to count for something...

Do you not know what "disappointing" means?  I didn't say "bad" year.  Everyone expected Cornell to compete for a national championship.  They finished in the bottom third of their conference.  How could you possibly not consider that disappointing?  Expectations don't come from nowhere; they come from being competitive nearly every year and losing only four players from a team that was one goal from the Frozen Four.  I don't feel entitled to anything; I do, however, have expectations, and this year these expectations showed no semblance of being met.

Your statement could be read as any year we don't win the tournament it's a disappointing year. That's how I read it initially and that's a sentiment that reflects entitlement, IMO.  If you just meant this year, then it reads differently.  Yes, I think we're all disappointed in this year's results.

Given the randomness involved in post-season tournaments I think winning the tournament is a pretty high bar for avoiding disappointment.

Well, Cornell could win the "last game of the season" by winning the ECAC consolation.

That would only be the last game of our season.

I see the confusion.  I meant that, given what has transpired this year, at this point only by winning the tournament could this season be considered a success.  I generally see a successful season as one in which Cornell makes the national tournament.  They were definitely expected to this year.

Made more disheartening if Atlantic City becomes the only tournament venue where Cornell will have never won the ECAC championship. Unless at some point the tournament retu-- never mind
